This bookmark is a clever quick reference tool to help beginner students read French by looking up how to pronounce a given spelling.

Use it on the go in your French textbooks or novel!

The bookmark compiles the main combinations of letters which students of French need to remember and their corresponding pronunciation in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).

The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols are important because they’re the only reliable indicator for the correct pronunciation of words. While you don’t have to learn the phonetic symbols by heart, it’s therefore a good idea to be able to refer to them.

For instance, I always use the IPA in my comprehensive online course “How to sound like a native French speaker”, never an approximation of the pronunciation written with the standard alphabet.
